The world is going to end.
Even though mysterious astrological predictions are wrong nine times out of ten, what if this is the one time they're right? As someone overflowing with a sense of responsibility, Anna decides to save the world.
Saving the world requires a lich.
Anna looks at the lich rolling around on the ground, at a loss for words. She really doesn't want to admit that the filthy creature in front of her is the person she's looking for.
Saving the world requires a lot of courage.
Even as strange looks are directed at her, Anna remains expressionless. With practiced ease, she peels off the lich clinging to her leg and refusing to let go.
Saving the world requires a lot of patience.
"Anna, let's go buy grilled fish! The stall by the west gate is the best in the world!"
"Margaret, I'm telling you again, we're out of money. And wipe your drool! Don't wipe it on my clothes!!"
Saving the world requires a lot of resolve.
"If this is a necessary sacrifice... I'm willing." After thinking it over carefully, the lich watches a flame spring up from beneath her feet.
A delicious grilled-meat aroma wafts toward them.
"Margaret, are you an idiot?! I've been a vegetarian my whole life! Burning yourself won't change that!"
Saving the world requires... Forget it. Watching the lich continue to roll around and throw a tantrum, Anna decides to beat her up first.
A high-fantasy story about Anna the elf and Margaret the lich.
I have many personal headcanons about elves and liches, so they don't entirely match other fantasy settings. The two protagonists' worldviews are about as far apart as Mount Everest and the Mariana Trench, so don't judge them by ordinary standards.
Premise: Even people with different worldviews can find common ground, respect their differences, and live together in harmony.
Madam, do you want to update your APH five-digit magic holiday? Is it really good-looking?
